I am seeking recommendations for a replacement headshell for use with a Dynavector XV1-t and 507 Mk2 that has excellent SQ and long headshell slots to provide greater flexibility for mounting the cartridge to the headshell. Thanks.
The Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber is superb.Had great luck with the Yamamoto Carbon Fiber headshell with the XV-1S
That's strange because I have all three headshells (HS-1A, HS-4 and L8000) set-up and used on the DV-507/II without a problem. Agreed that the DV-507/II uses Stevenson geometry which puts the cartridge quite forward in the headshell....but the mentioned headshells are all fine in that respect.I was setting up a Schick arm recently and wanted to use the Ortofon L 8000 but (in this case, with the Sensitive Sound cart) the slots did not allow enough forward movement. Just wanted to mention it since OP included this factor.
